Abstract
I assume that our current difficulties in modelling self-organizing systems (in A.I., genetics etc.) are deeply rooted in our way of thinking. Our current paradigms are like hypnotic spell making it impossible for us to see the open door out of the box we have locked ourselves in. Instead we are running against the solid walls.
The first steps to get out of that box are the recognition that we are in a box and the moment we are realizing that the door is open and that there is no trap.
This paper is intended to contribute a little bit to recognize the box. Our understanding of parallelity — especially our inability to hold contradicting mental structures in our minds — seems to be a key to that.
